  1. Money
  2. We can only hope that Bad Wolf is Russell Martin.
  3. Would you rather be hung, drawn or quartered?
  4. Makes you wonder why we signed Tall Paul.
  5. Why would Real Madrid look to buy anybody from the English Championship?
  6. We all got behind him. How did that go?
  7. You’ve missed the sarcasm.
  8. I had a cartoon once that said, “I feel so much better now that I’ve given up hope”
  9. We have to prepare for next season and having this clown in charge is not the way to do it. (Well it is nearly pantomime season)
  10. And we limited ourselves to no shots on target.
  11. Now can we sack him?
  12. Foul by Wolves, do you mean?
  13. Stephens going walkabout as usual I see.
  14. Consistent with the team that started or the team that finished (and won) ?
  15. We don’t have to play everyone. That’s the opposite of consistency.
  16. Consistent with the team that started or the team that finished (and won) ?
  17. More pity than laughter I believe.
  18. Take a look at “Position of Maximum Opportunity”. “The term was coined by football manager Charles Hughes, who based his philosophy on statistical analysis. Hughes believed that 87.1% of goals are scored from five passes or fewer“
  19. Yep. Just you. ”Exciting payoff” and “slower tactical buildup” don’t go together. It’s pedestrian football.
  20. You must be joking.
  21. If Carlsberg did motivational speeches… 😉
  22. To be honest I’d rather have my keeper making no saves and keeping a clean sheet.
  23. There’s a whole article by James Gheerbrant in The Times today about Russell Martin “Why Gary O’Neil and Russell Martin are prioritising style over results” I won’t paste the whole article because of copyright issues but here’s a paragraph: “And yet, oddly, they have found themselves this season facing similar complaints: an enervating inflexibility, a lack of urgency, playing as if to some ulterior objective besides scoring. Wolves and Southampton have, respectively, the highest and second-highest percentage of backwards passes this season. In the dying seconds of their game against Manchester City, trailing 1-0, and with the 6ft 7in striker Paul Onuachu freshly introduced, Martin’s team opted to take their last free kick short and were still tapping the ball among themselves when the final whistle blew.”
  24. I did click on your profile and to be honest I was really aim my comments at RTW Saint who only joined a matter of days ago. I’m bitter because this style of football makes me bitter. It’s selfish and suicidal. It’s some sort of style but it’s not stylish. I won’t be sadly missed by anybody near me since they won’t be going either.
